For what it's worth, in my opinion your designs and your work show allot of promise, again, my personal opinion only, I think the word "Tactical" has been way over hyped by the advertising media to sell stuff to those folks who like to think of themselves as some sort of Rambo, the word conjures up visions of adventure and militarism in some people, and is considered negatively with much of the self reliance community that I run with, looking at your knives I see a blending of materials and design that looks more like it's ready for outdoor adventures rather than the battle field, which is where "Tacticals" belong. Like other makers of larger multi purpose knives like Gossman and beck who choose to call their designs WSK's for Wilderness/Survival Knives, you might want to think about what you are intending your knives to be used for, if it's urban warfare then Tactical is probably the right word, but if you intend to make them for self reliance and survival, you might want to drop the Tactical designation. Other than that, they're looking good.

WOW your so right Moe, thanks and comming from you that's high clover.your so right, a tactical knife a pair of oakleys and some molle gear does not make one an operatoror delta force. wsk's sounds like the ticket.

Totally agree......When i hear Tactical...I have visions of double edge, saw back, wire cutter, the large pommel....I go with a wilderness description as well.

Nice job, buddy.....Looking good.
